Question

Paisley is a high school student who wants to be a writer. She has always dreamed of attending Science University, since her entire family graduated from there. One day she receives an email about a scholarship from the University of Prestigious Writing, but she deletes it without even opening it.

Which red flag characteristic best describes Paisley's behavior?

Pomposity
Fanaticism
Inanity
Superstition

Answer 1

The red flag characteristic that best describes Paisley's behavior is fanaticism.
Fanaticism by description is a behavior that shows more of an obsessive enthusiasm. Paisley's obsession of attending Science University is normal but her action such as receiving a scholarship from a different school and never entertained the email is an abnormal behavior.

The answer is the second choice which is Fanaticism.
